This project is a collaboration with graphic designer Matt McKey for the 2017 NGV Summer Pavilion competition.

Two lengths of wall sit amongst the gardens, creating three distinct spaces of conversation, play, and retreat. The main space is circular, conceived as an urban campfire or conversation pit where meetings take place. Walls provide a surface for visual codes and graphic symbols, and define the spatial regions to engage those who visit the gardens.

The pavilion explores the interplay between graphic, physical, and verbal communication.
